Description
Nizoral shampoo is an anti-dandruff shampoo used to treat dandruff and manage flaking, scaling, and itchiness. It contains ketoconazole, a clinically proven antifungal medication that helps control dandruff. Nizoral shampoo works by inhibiting the growth of fungus, which is the root cause of dandruff, while also alleviating its symptoms.
Nizoral shampoo should be used only under medical supervision; it should not be used as a regular shampoo. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly before applying the shampoo, and then massage it into the scalp and hair for at least three minutes. Rinse it off with water.
Common side effects of Nizoral shampoo are dryness, irritation, or scalp redness. If these symptoms worsen or persist, get medical help. Pregnant or nursing patients should only use Nizoral shampoo if prescribed by a doctor.
Nizoral shampoo must not be used on broken or irritated skin. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
Other shampoos with ketoconazole as their active ingredient include Ketomac shampoo, Ketocip shampoo, Nizol shampoo, and Exizol shampoo.
